                        Total number of tunes: 792 (44 new)


 Introduction
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
 This is the release version of the first Atari XL/XE chip-music collection.
 The outfit of the whole collection was inspired by the HVSC collection (with 
 some differences). I hope you'll like this collection. To get in touch with 
 me, see the "Contact" chapter.


 Statistics
 ~~~~~~~~~~
 Number of tunes:      792 (1032 including subtunes)
 Compared to HVSC:     6.3% (HVSC v3.5 contains 12554 tunes)
 Unsorted tunes:       73
 Number of musicians:  49
 Most active musician: Grzegorz Kwiatek    (66 tunes)
 Biggest SAP tune:     Garfield_Part_2.sap (61550 bytes)
 Smallest SAP tune:    Self_Test.sap       (159 bytes)
 Files with subtunes:
  2 tunes: 24x
  3 tunes: 16x
  4 tunes: 16x
  5 tunes: 10x
  6 tunes:  2x
  7 tunes:  3x
  8 tunes:  2x
  9 tunes:  1x
 10 tunes:  1x
 13 tunes:  1x
 14 tunes:  1x
 15 tunes:  1x
 (2 tunes have unexisting tune "0")


 Help!
 ~~~~~
 As you can see, there are lots of tunes in the 'Unsorted' directory. If
 you're 100% sure about origin of any of these tunes (Who did it, where does 
 it come from, when was it composed), please let us know immediately so that 
 we can complete the information about the tune in ASMA (and move it to the 
 right directory). We would welcome if you sent us also the binary file (or 
 an ATR/XFD disk image) with the original peace of software with that tune. 
 Mail any such information to pg@pinknet.cz. Our aim is to completely 
annihilate the 'Unsorted' directory :-)


 For contributors
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 If you want to send me some tunes, they must be already converted to SAP
 format and should include all the information needed (author, name, date,
 number of songs). If you're unsure about any information needed, you can
 send me the music as well, maybe we can find the info together. If you don't
 know how to create SAP files, send me the binary file with the INIT and PLAY
 addresses and memory location where the tune has to be loaded. See SAP.TXT
 for SAP format description. The filenames must not be longer than 26
 characters (plus .sap) e.g.:

 12345678901234567890123456.123
 Intel_Outside_Fractal_Part.sap - all right
 Jocky_Wilsons_Darts_Challenge.sap - wrong!

 Because of compatibility reasons only characters 'A..Z', 'a..z', and '0..9'
 can be used in the filenames. All spaces must be replaced with underscore
 ("_"). The dash ("-") is also allowed but from no reason we don't use it :-)

 Zdenek Eisenhammer (PG of Unreal) - maintainer of the archive, ripped about
                                     10% of the tunes
 Adam Bienias (SoTe of Slight) - ripped over 55% of the tunes
 Piotr Fusik (Fox of Taquart) - ripped about 15% of the tunes (now he's my
                                main contributor). He's also author of a cool
                                multiformat SAP converter.
 Tamas Bene (<?> of Hard) - ripped a few tunes (when will you rip your SID
                            emulated tunes? ;-)
 Jindrich Kubec - ripped some tunes as well :)
 Radek Sterba (RASTER) - sent most of his tunes. Thanx! If only every
                         musician did this...
 <?> (Dracon of Taquart) - ripped about 15% of the tunes
 <?> (Pigula of Shpoon) - ripped many tunes in update 1.5
 Slawek Sledz (Slaves of Taquart) - many bugreports in ASMA 1.6 pre-release
